Landowners meet on Conservancy By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com

“I guess the concerns are they want more buffering between (land) so they don’t have to see the houses being developed,” Davis said. She voiced that developers still find that restrictive and may lower prices of the land. Those in favor of The Conservancy and the landowners and developers reached a point of agreement at the end of the meeting. It was decided certain landowners and developers will work with The Conservancy when they pitch ideas to see what may work or what may not. The new plan is to enhance the 2007 comprehensive plan instead of creating a new plan. “The developers and land owners will get together with The Conservancy to come up with a compromise,” Davis said. Nothing concrete has been decided for The Conservancy and more meetings will be held in the future.

On March 15, a meeting was held at the Westfield Public Library for the concerned landowners placed in the area where The Conservancy addendum will be if passed. Kristin Burkman and development Suzy DuBois, organizers of The Conservancy plan, presented the Southwest New Suburban Comprehensive Plan from 2007. Burkman said The Conservancy addendum would build upon the 2007 plan if passed and provide more details for buffering, open space, contextsensitive plans, architecture and recreation for future developers to follow. “Our goal is to add some clarity to this, so that when all of you decide to sell there is something we can look at in a concrete way,” Burkman said. During the meeting, there were concerns voiced by the landowners, such as from Nancy Davis who lives in the area. Originally, there were plans for one house per every three acres and restrictions on architecture and trees that made some landowners say made them uncomfortable. The main concern centered on landowners who may want to sell in the future not being able to sell for what the land is worth. “If you only put one house per three acres, you’re going to get less money for your land,” Davis said. “(Developers) pay you for how many houses they can get on your land. It could have lowered our cost by potentially 85 percent. It could’ve been very detrimental to us.” After concerns were expressed from developers and landowners, the plan removed the one-houseper three-acre restriction. However, the landowners and developers say they are The yellow on the map shows which of the property owners within the still concerned with other proposed conservany boundary oppose the conservancy.

With the recent consolidation of parks and recreation programs into the Westfield Washington Township, the township will be organizing all summer camps through local parks and recreation as young as preschool ages. All camps are theme-based and cover topics such as cooking, which ends with a cookie sale, and wild and wacky, which provides arts, crafts and activities and ends in a water day. “We had a big bake sale at the end of our cooking camp last year, and all the kids got to split the proceeds,” said Danielle Carey Tolan, township trustee. “It’s a fun activity, and the kids love it.” Camps available for younger children expand on the same subjects and offer more complex activities for the older children. Camps range from ages 3 to 11. “We pride ourselves on the diversity of offering something different to the community than what the schools can bring and at a low cost,” Tolan said. “We aren’t providing these camps to break the pocket book. These are for the kids and families so they can enjoy it.” Some other camps include weather, animal behavior and a paper camp, where kids learn

Elementary Education, Indiana University, Bloomington; M.A. Educational Technology, IUPUI, Indianapolis. Why did you become a teacher? “Being a teacher is the only thing I have ever wanted to be. I always knew I wanted to work with young people. I worked as a camp counselor, and then I had the opportunity, through my high school’s winter term, to work in a second-grade classroom for three weeks, which really solidified my path to becoming a teacher.” What goals do you have for your students? “My goal for all my students is simple: grow to be the best you that you can become. We will challenge ourselves and have a lot of fun doing it, but in the end, my job is to help my students reach their full potential as learners and people.”

What do you encourage parents to do at home to help their children Gibbs strengthen particular skills? “The simplest thing for students to do outside of the school day is read because reading is so connected to success in so many areas. I would also encourage parents to get their children involved in something that they are passionate about, be that music, sports, art or anything else. Just help them grow to appreciate the work that goes into being good at something. Finally, give your students time to play, create and interact with friends.” Favorite movie? “Good Will Hunting” Favorite musician or band?

Amazing Breakthrough Back & Sciatica Treatment! Provides long term relief for Herniated Discs, Sciatica, Spinal Stenosis, Facet Syndrome and more

State Sen. Luke Kenley (R-Noblesville), left, pauses with Christian Mills. (Submitted photo)

Mills interns with page program By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Christian Mills of Westfield participated in a paid intern program at the Statehouse from Dec. 28 to March 10. Mills took photos of experience all pages that passed through the Statehouse and completed miscellaneous tasks around the office. The IUPUI sophomore said he gained valuable experience from the program. “I think I’ve learned a great deal more about the legislative process, despite the transparency between legislators and the community. A lot of times people don’t have incentive or don’t realize how easy it is to get that information,” Mills said. “Apart from professional skills, I learned a lot more about how our government works and where our tax payer dollars go.” Mills, 22, is a marketing major and graduated from Carmel High School in 2012. “I think there are a lot of fairly easily transferrable skills you develop from working in an office. There are a lot of community skills and working with other people and learning to adapt and be flexible with scheduling,” Mills said of his internship and what he hopes to do with his marketing major. “It wouldn’t be that far of a leap as far as working with senators to working with clients to make sure everything they want done gets done timely and efficiently.” Mills said his favorite experience was interacting with the kids that came through the Statehouse as pages, from seventh grade to seniors in high school. “A lot of the kids had very unique viewpoints on how things should get done,” he said. “It was very enjoyable to see how a younger viewpoint solves some of the issues that went on throughout the Statehouse. We introduced them to the legislative process, gave them a tour of the Statehouse and we took them up to see an example of what a normal session day looks like.”

If you have back pain and would like to end it RIGHT NOW – you are in luck. And, you are not alone... It is estimated that up to 90% of Americans will suffer with back pain at some time in their life. Back pain is so common that many have branded it “normal.” It’s just part of life. Most will just have to live with it. And, until recently, that may have been true… At least, if your pain was from a disc herniation. Why? To explain, let’s take a look at back pain. Many back pain sufferers I’ve treated originally came in petrified. Their backs hurt so much they could hardly walk. More than one patient has told me it was the worst pain of their life. Just about all tell me their lives have drastically changed since the pain started. They were once active and full of energy. Now, their life is a nightmare. So, what causes such debilitating pain? What’s the most likely cause? The most common cause we see for moderate to severe back pain comes from bulging or herniated discs. Until recent medical advances, being diagnosed with a herniated disc meant one of two things: 1) Dope yourself up with pain medications and learn to live with the pain… or… 2) Go through risky back surgery. As far as we are concerned, that’s no choice at all. Not the choices we wanted to offer our patients. All that changed in the blink of an eye when we found a revolutionary solution for most of our herniated disc patients. spineMED Decompression What’s really great about the spineMED is its high success rate with the pain and symptoms associated with herniated and bulging discs. Such as: • Neck Pain • Back Pain • Sciatica • Spinal Stenosis • Pain & numbness in legs • Degenerative Disc Disease Even patients that had been suffering with unbearable pain for years and given up hope got relief. Others were even scheduled for surgery and canceled after just a handful of treatments on the spineMED. How it works! When you have a herniation, gravity is your biggest enemy. That’s because the forces of gravity cause your own body weight to press down on the injured disc… creating positive intradiscal pressure. In other words… gravity causes the inner material of your discs to constantly get pushed… or squeezed out. This means your disc cannot heal and… most of the time… gets worse as the years go by. So the answer became simple… in theory anyway. If you could negate the forces of gravity and actually create a negative intradiscal pressure on your spinal discs… you could reverse the process. And this “negative intradiscal pressure” is exactly what the spineMED creates! This negative pressure actually sucks the herniated or bulging disc material back into place and off of the painful irritated nerves! Don’t take our word for it!

“Before this treatment I had suffered with 40 years of back pain, the last 11 years of which was severe! I had also developed numbness in my right foot. I love to fish and hunt since I retired from law enforcement. I had to stop both of those as I could barely walk for short distances. I had become depressed. I had Degenerative Disc Disease and bulged discs. After treatment with Dr. Mountain I had no pain in my back and I had 90% of the feeling back into my right foot. The pain relief was amazing. That was over 3 years ago, that I was fixed up by Dr. Mountain! For the last 3 years I have been fishing and hunting big game! The longer I go the stronger my back becomes! This was only possible because of Dr. Mountain.” -Tom H., Retired “Before, I had low back pain and episodes of severe sciatica. I had to give up all of my activities, including golfing and volunteer work! I had tried every type of treatment and medicine with no success. During attacks of sciatica, I had to use a walker just to walk down my hall. I couldn’t even get into bed, let alone sleep there! All the doctors I went to said they had done all they could and I would have to live with these attacks of sciatica. After treatment with Dr. Mountain my pain is barely there. I don’t get sciatica attacks anymore. I am cheerful and I am back to doing the activities that bring pleasure into my life, including golf, once again!” - Bobbie C. “I had an L4-L5 disc herniation. The Neurosurgeon, who wanted to operate on me, described it as toothpaste coming out of my disc. It gave me severe and constant left leg pain and numbness into my toes. I was not willing to subject myself to low back surgery. I tried epidural injections, a full course of physical therapy and over 40 acupuncture treatments. These did not help. Dr. Mountain, the spinal decompression system and his low back/core strengthening program significantly improved the quality of my life. I am now working full days again, digging holes for trees in my orchard, exercising and most importantly, playing baseball with my 10 year old son!” - Dennis R.

This treatment is so unique from any other treatment… patients are usually in complete shock with the results… and then outraged that they didn’t discover this paineliminating secret sooner!

In honor of Indiana’s bicentennial year, the Westfield Playhouse, 1836 Ind. 32 W., will be focusing on Indiana history with the performances throughout the bicentennial year. “We are part of the Indiana Bicentennial Commission because we decided all of our shows this year are going to be written by an Indiana playwright or set in Indiana or have something to do with Indiana,” said Kate Hinman, board member. The special year is known to the playhouse as “A Year of Hoosier Plays and Playwrights.” “We came a long way over the last three or four years in the playhouse, and we have become very involved in Hamilton County, so why not expand on that and use that as a celebration for the state of Indiana?” she said. Westfield Playhouse, which has worked closely with the Westfield Parks Dept. in previous seasons with “Voices From the Past” events, will be continuing the relationship by assisting the parks department with a performance called “Follow the Drinkin’ Gourd.” “‘Follow the Drinkin’ Gourd’ is an original musical about the Underground Railroad, and it’s called ‘Follow the Drinkin’ Gourd’ because

they would follow the big or little dipper in the sky to head north,” Hinman said. “We will also be working with the parks department again for ‘Voices From the Past.” The next performance will be “Nightingale,” by Don Nigro. The performance will be set on various dates from April 1 to 17. Other performances throughout the year include “The Nerd” by Larry Shue, “Blue Jeans” by Joseph Arthur and “The Dealer Smiles” by Larry Adams. For more, visit westfieldplayhouse.org.

Nichols launches kind initiative By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com After Courtney Nichols went through breast cancer and experienced the true impact of kindness, she wanted to fundraiser help make a difference in the world. Some parents and teachers expressed concerns of bullying in Westfield Middle School, and that’s when Nichols came up with a community-wide drive for kindness. “Not that I was unkind before, but I found it was life changing. It’s really redefined me,” she said. “I’ve found I have a true passion for kindness, so I can do that for myself and model that for my children.” KEEP Collective, an organization Nichols sells jewelry for, partnered with the nonprofit Kind Campaign, and whoever sold the most jewelry during the month of March would be able to bring the founders of the Kind Campaign, Lauren Paul and Molly Thompson, to their community. Nichols wants to go a step further, and all of her profits will go directly to Student Impact. She began the initiative Westfield is KIND to not only encourage the jewelry sales but to spread kindness, as well.

All profits from Courtney Nichols’s jewelry sale will go to Student Impact. KIND bracelets and key fobs are available. (Submitted photo)

“We all can benefit from being a little kinder and starting that conversation with our students at home about kindness,” she said. “My goal is to strengthen our community through kindness and be proactive through kindness instead of reactive to bullying.” Nichols’s Facebook group, Westfield is KIND, already has more than 1,200 members. “Kindness can be life changing,” she said. “This was an opportunity for me to raise awareness for Student Impact and do a fundraiser while at same time.” The KIND bars, available for bracelets or key fobs, can be purchased through the Facebook page, Westfield is KIND.

WHS grad Grayson Marsh will take a trip to the Middle East to film ‘The Ishkoshims.’

Marsh’s travel timeline

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Grayson Marsh has always had a passion for filming, culture and history. He finally found a way to combine all three. The 21-year-old Westfield High School cover story grad originally traveled to Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan to play and teach hockey to goalies in the area, then competed in a tournament in Abu Dhabi. “I wanted to play, I wanted to have fun, but I’ve always been interested in the former Soviet Republics, and thought it was the best of both worlds to experience the culture and play (hockey) at the same time,” he said. Marsh enjoyed the area and returned to the Middle East less than a year later to go backpacking through Armenia and Georgia and then a third time in late 2015 to Uzbekistan to work with a fledgling hockey program. Now, Marsh will combine his passion for filming and the Middle East when he travels to Tajikistan April 27 to film a documentary, “The Ishkoshims.” Ishkoshim is a small settlement in southern Tajikistan and also a village in northern Afghanistan directly across the border. The two separate areas share a cross-border relationship through a market. “The people that live on the southern border share the same religion, language and basically bloodline of people in Afghanistan on the other side of the border,” Marsh said. He said his goal is to educate people and encourage traveling to Central Asia. Despite the gem, arms and opium trade that takes place across the border from Afghanistan, the Ishkoshim people are

re-establishing the relationship lost during the Soviet Union. “Illegal gem, arm and opium trade across the border is a problem, but it doesn’t discourage people from touring there because of how beautiful it is,” he said. “There’s a market held on the border that keeps these people in touch with one another, since they have the same ethnicity but a different place of living.” The documentary is projected to be longer than 60 minutes. He will stay in Tajikistan approximately three months to complete the filming. Marsh said he has been in touch with several travel agencies and has done significant networking to arrange homestays during his time overseas. Anthropologists oftentimes conduct studies in the region due to the unique border and market, so Marsh is not worried about how he will get information for his documentary. “It’s unique because, despite how remote the location is, there are lots of well-educated, English-speaking people there, so it shouldn’t be that hard to communicate,” he said. “They see a fair share of outsiders conducting studies in their region, so I don’t think it will be too terribly unnatural.” Marsh is still in need of storage equipment such as external hard drives and travel funds, and has set up an Indiegogo account to raise money. “I want to educate people, and I also want people to be in-

‘Follow us, or keep quiet’

It would be an over-generalization to state here that all liberals hate the right to exercise free speech. We happen to believe, though, that many do, and what follows is the latest example … aside from the Trump-related throwdowns. California State University Los Angeles President William Covino recently abruptly canceled a speech by conservative author and advocate Ben Shapiro. The speech was titled, “When Diversity Becomes A Problem.” According to reports, twice it was approved by the student budget board and was sponsored by the conservative student group, Young America’s Foundation. But liberal groups aggressively protested Shapiro’s pending appearance and one professor threatened to wrestle conservative students who supported the event. That, right there, is big, highereducation thinking. Covino sent an email to YAF saying it would be best to reschedule Shapiro for another time as part of a panel offering different viewpoints on the topic. Liberal-focused speeches, including “Exploring Whiteness” and “Do Muslim Women Really need Freedom?” went on as scheduled. How much closer to fascism can this campus leader get? Plain and simple: Shapiro was denied his right to free speech. We have a new slogan for Cal State-LA: “Where you are free to speak your mind – as long as it meets with our agenda.” Of course, the mostly liberal mainstream media made zero stink about this. Heck, even comedians get it. Jerry Seinfeld said last year he avoids the politically correct college campuses at all costs, and the same goes for Larry the Cable Guy and Chris Rock. Sad but true, and we’ve come to expect the kind of behavior shown at Cal State-LA, and you should, too. It’s not where we’re headed as a nation, it’s where we are.

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Adopting a future

Commentary by Terry Anker

Some families know adoption. Sisters, brothers, nieces and nephews – all can trace their blood lines to a terminus other than their own. Our own family is one of them. Who we are and where we come from can be a bit more complicated for some of us than others. Moreover, some of us care, a lot – really, a lot, unable to sleep, obsession, a lot – while others of us dismiss the whole affair as if the past is as irrelevant as 1950s morals at a Kardashian family reunion. “Long Lost Family” on cable television undertakes to unearth the buried past of exploring adoptees. It films the search of adults seeking their own now, even more adult, progenitors. The “birth parents” may or may not be friendly to being “discovered” by their biological children. With the passage of time (one would hope), perspectives have matured and folks are better prepared to reconcile their own complicated pasts. The stories are varied, but all are emotional.

How is it that we define who we are? Some is by what we do. Some is by where we spend our time. Some is by how we live. Yet context cannot complete the picture. There is more to the portrait. Who do we believe we are? Certainly, what others think matters; but it is our own perception that colors the scene. What is our story? What is our past? Can our history help predict our future? Adopted or not, what do we really know about our history? Can we adopt a future? Some of us are completely disinterested in anything in the rear view mirror; while others cannot move forward without full knowledge. How can we get to our destination if we don’t know where we are? Perhaps, we each decide our own story – if not the text, then certainly the interpretation. Terry Anker is an associate editor of Current Publishing, LLC.

So here is the rundown on the current situation at Chez Wilson. Our kitchen is completely gutted. We have humor no cabinets, no oven and no stovetop. A thick layer of drywall dust coats the entire first floor. I’ve come home the last three days to find the dog, who appears to somehow have broken her tail, eating trash under the makeshift dining room table. Doo and I argue nightly over light fixtures, our latchkey children are living off of dry cereal and canned pasta, and the one break I get from dealing with the catastrophe of our house – jogging – consistently results in me peeing my pants. (Seriously, how does one hydrate efficiently without needing a Depends?) Let me also point out that I gave up not only my beloved Diet Crack but all soda for Lent. At least Jesus knows I’m taking my sacrifices very seriously this year. And yet, life is good. The kids complain about the lack of home-cooking, but seem excited about the renovations. Doo and I waste hours debating the virtues of pendant lighting versus wagon-wheel chandeliers but have had many quality dates at Home Depot. Our pets are taking advantage of doors left open, food left on the ground and the perpetual mud baths created as we drive through the yard every morning to navigate a narrow driveway with three cars since our garage has been converted into a temporary U-StoreIt unit. Yes, this past week has been every bit annoying as that last run-on sentence! How long can our sanity last? Who knows, but I’m proud of our stick-togetherness so far. We may all stroke out by the end of the month from the number of high sodium frozen foods we’re ingesting, and I might off Doo in his sleep if he continues to insist on wainscoting instead of beadboard, but with spring clearly on her glorious way in, the outlook is positive. There’s definitely a light and a case of Diet Coke at the end of this remodel tunnel. If only I could do something about the stupid incontinence. Peace out.

Opinions on the Conservancy Editor, It has come to the attention of the property owners listed below, the article published in The Current newspaper about the public hearing regarding the proposed conservancy in Westfield contained a number of inaccuracies. This article ran in your newspaper on Feb. 13, 2016. At the public hearing, held by the Advisory Plan Commission on Feb. 1, 2016, 22 speakers opposed adoption of the addendum – and only eight spoke in favor. Given the opposition of 71 percent of the property ownerships within the proposed conservancy boundary—as shown on the (map on Page 3), which was introduced at the public hearing—your headline was very misleading and the content of the article was factually incorrect. The affected property owners were not included, as suggested, in any prior discussions or meetings held by conservancy petition leaders. We do not believe a conservancy addendum to Westfield’s Comprehensive Plan is needed or warranted. The current plan was vetted

by the public and elected officials, has been tested through review of numerous zoning petitions, and continues to work as intended. The addendum could also do harm by eliminating the medium density designation which acts as a buffer between Ditch Road and Shelbourne Road. A meeting with conservancy leaders and property owners is scheduled for March 15th. Our position of opposition remains unchanged, and will be communicated again at that meeting. Nels Ackerson, Nancy Davis, Mary Josephine (Josie) George, dba MJG Properties LLC, Thomas Murphy, Mary Schreiber, Mark Thompson, Carol Whitson, Judy Crandall, Charles Davis, Beverly Emmert, Joe Davis, James Kotsanos, Karen Jameson, Graham Richards, pastor - Central Christian Church, Bob McColgin Editor’s note: This letter was in conjunction with a landowner meeting on March 15.

ernments will need to raise 10 percent of the operating cost through donations from corporations and individuals. If this goal is not met, local governments will be on the hook for any shortfall. Kiplinger’s already ranks Indiana as a not-tax-friendly state due to the use of local taxes to fund a myriad of initiatives. If local counties cannot pass a local income tax, then local townships will be allowed to try. We hope these local officials see the pitfalls in asking residents to subsidize a transit system through an income tax. We need to send a clear message to our elected officials to go back to the drawing board to rethink mass transit funding sources other than from income taxes on hardworking Hoosiers.

Mass taxation Editor, The recent Current article regarding mass transit benefits shows that it is nothing more than corporate welfare. No one will argue that mass transit would be nice to have, up there with motherhood and apple pie, but the way we are going about paying for (it) is the problem. Not a sales tax, no corporate tax component, but a local income tax against every hardworking county resident’s paycheck. One would think that Kroger, a $23 billion gross profit company, could solve any worker shortage problem on their own (it’s called free-market), without being subsidized by hundreds of dollars from taxpayers’ wallets every year. The legislature could not pass a transit bill that included a corporate tax because it would make them less competitive. Local gov-

Homeland security Commentary by Dick Wolfsie I was watching “House of Cards” one afternoon and suddenly the TV’s sound went off. I got out the cable manual. Every humor troubleshooting guide begins with the assumption you are clueless. 1. Does your house have power? 2. Is your unit plugged in? 3. Is the switch in the ON position? 4. Are you taking all your meds? I called the 800 number and explained the problem I was having. Dennis, their rep, required my PIN number, but I couldn’t remember it. “In that case, I have to ask you a security question you chose. Who is your favorite movie actor?” I was drawing a blank. “Could we use my wife’s maiden name, instead? How about my favorite superhero? Come on, work with me here.” Wait, maybe it was Mary Ellen who answered the security question. I called her on my cell phone. My wife was in an important meeting, but I was desperate. “Could you interrupt her?” I pleaded with the receptionist. “Please ask her

who her favorite actor is.” Apparently, Mary Ellen didn’t believe I would bother her at work for something that stupid. “That can’t possibly be my husband,” she told the secretary. “Ask him the name of his first pet. It’s Slowpoke.” Well, I blew that question, too. I answered Bosco, who was my first dog. I forgot about that silly turtle I got when I was 4. Then I remembered writing the PIN number on the back of the TV. Dennis did some kind of reset and soon the audio returned. But it was driving me crazy that I couldn’t remember who my favorite actor was, so I asked Dennis to tell me who I had picked. “Oh, I can’t tell you that, sir. That would be a breach of security.” “Wait a second, you’re not allowed to tell me who my favorite actor is? That’s crazy.” “Well, I suppose I can, but first I need to ask you a few security questions…” (Read the full version at currentinwestfield. com.)

Gregory Hancock’s ‘SUPERHERO’ to return By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com For the third year, Gregory Hancock’s “SUPERHERO: the story of a man called Jesus” will be returning to theater the Tarkington in Carmel. “It’s becoming this annual tradition, audiences have asked for that, they like this production and want it to be an annual Easter holiday tradition,” said Hancock, the director of the show. “We are doing that; this is the sixth time we’ve presented it.” The first three times the dance performance took place was at Pike Performing Arts Center, until Gregory Hancock Dance Theatre moved to 329 Gradle Dr., Carmel. The dancers tell the story of the last week of Jesus’s life without any vocals. “It is a contemporary retelling of that using modern music and contemporary music and I focus on the women in Jesus’s life, his mother and Mary Magdalen and the woman he meets at the well and the woman who wipes his face while carrying the cross,” Hancock said. “I think it is an interesting aspect that hasn’t been looked at as much and women were really important to him.” Jesus’s relationship with Judas Iscariot is also portrayed. Hancock said the concert starts off with a rock feel and then arcs into more classical music throughout the performance. “It focuses on Jesus as man more than as a god or savior, just more of a human and focuses on his struggles and having to come to terms with his fate and his destiny as a human being,” Hancock said. “These performances are starting to get a really big audience, church groups are becoming more interested in it. I don’t think you have to be of any particular faith to enjoy the show, it’s an interesting story and it’s a human struggle story.” The dancers have to tell the story with just their bodies and their motion, and Hancock said they have to be actors as well as dancers to pull off the performance. James Gilmer of Cincinnati, Ohio will play the character of Jesus for his second year. “James’s interpretation of Jesus is very different, his look is very different than

how Jesus was perceived, but that’s the beauty of doing a repertoire piece year after year is seeing different dancers or actors in those roles,” Hancock said. “I like the difference that James brings and the uniqueness that he brings to his interpretation of Jesus, that’s a pretty daunting role to tackle. He’s a beautiful dancer.” Hancock said the audience often times gets very emotional, and experiences a large range of emotions. “There’s a big arc, the performance is incredibly sad at one point and then incredibly uplifting a few moments later. We go through the resurrection and the crucifixion,” Hancock said. “Some scenes are very sad, very emotional but then it’s very uplifting and it’s light and beautiful at the end.” Hancock said that the modern, rock feel of music at the beginning of the perfor-

mance takes people aback at first, but that the feeling gets lost the longer the performance goes on. “It’s not just about Christianity,” he said, although the two performances do take place over Easter weekend. “People of all faiths can enjoy the beautiful dancing and music.”

Choco and peanut butter toast Commentary by Ceci Martinez

Teens, no need to drive to fast food joints! A real choco and peanut butter toast is a heavenly reward snack for those late night soccer practices or for a college student’s midnight treat. This yummy and healthy recipe is a breeze to prepare! Note: Feeling the blues? There is evidence that chocolate makes us happier. Research scientists have isolated the chemical in chocolate that makes us feel good. Tryptophan is what the brain uses to make the neurotransmitter serotonin. High levels of serotonin can produce feelings of elation. Serves: 8 Prep and cook time: 15 minutes Ingredients: • 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate morsels • 8 slices thin white bread • 6 tablespoons Trader’s Joe’s organic peanut butter (buy PB with no added oils, sugars and salt) • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter softened • 1/2 tablespoon sugar Directions: Preheat oven to 375F. Melt the chocolate in the microwave. Spread four slices of bread evenly with peanut butter and the remaining four slices evenly with melted

‘Tis the allergy season Commentary by Tammy Wittmann Allergy season has hit. If you are anything like me, this time of year can really be frustrating. One of the main areas eyecare affected is our eyes. Itchy, red, watery eyes are the telltale signs of ocular allergies but can sometimes be symptoms of other ocular infections. It’s important to have your eyes checked by your eye doctor if you are having these symptoms to rule out more serious infections. Also, keep in mind that watery eyes alone are not necessarily allergy eyes. And you can also have allergic conjunctivitis and not experience any other allergy symptoms like sneezing and rhinitis (hay fever). It’s important to note that the oral medications you may be taking for your systemic symptoms do little to nothing for ocular allergies. Some of the prescription nasal sprays will help but the most effective treatment for ocular allergies is an eye drop. There are some over-the-counter drops that work well, but you want to steer clear of any of the “get the red out” drops. Also, stay away from gener-

My Father’s Garden holds birthday party

ics in this case as well. Generics can have more preservative in them because they are not regulated by the FDA. More preservatives mean less active ingredient and more irritation for the ocular tissues. The most effective treatments however are prescription eye drops. Contact lens wearers may not realize they have ocular allergies but have symptoms such as decreased contact lens comfort and shorter wearing time. Also, contact lenses may have more deposits on them causing temporary decreased vision. Some contact lens wearers have to switch to a daily disposable lens during allergy season as well. It is always best to have any ocular problem evaluated by your eye doctor to differentiate between allergic, viral or bacterial conjunctivitis as well as dry eye, since the treatments for each vary. Dr. Tammy Wittmann, O.D., practices at Wittmann 20/20 Family Eye Center at 2792 E. 146th St., Carmel. For more information, visit www.wittmann2020.com or call 843-2020.

With the growth of Westfield, the chamber of commerce has expanded to add a new position for director of sales and marketing, and Westfield’s own Jack Russell profile will take on the part-time role. “My role is to promote events and get sponsorships along with finding new members,” he said. “We’ve seen a lot of growth. We want to become more innovative in the chamber, think of different ideas and concepts to help businesses get to where they want to be. My biggest goal is to help businesses with their problems.” With the addition of Russell, there are now three staff members at the chamber. Russell said with Westfield’s growth, he is an advocate for entrepreneurship and businesses that encourage that, such as the Union. “We have tons of companies in Westfield that have started with entrepreneurship. They started with an idea, so as they grow, they grow with us, so that’s huge to me,” he said. The chamber discovered Russell through Westfield Young Professionals and realized he had a background in sales and marketing. Russell announced his new position March 8.

I love Westfield, so to feel like I’m making a difference in the city and helping businesses get to where they want to be. That’s huge.”

The sometimes hilarious stories all have a similar theme. “I love my neighbor, but…” But … they just put in an obnoxious play-set that stares at me when we entertain in our sunroom. But … their ambitious patio space is seven feet form mine and I can hear every whispered word. But … they just removed their overgrown shrubs and now I have a direct view into their kitchen.

Jesus forgiving Peter along Sea of Galilee. (Photo by Don Knebel)

Israel’s sacred lake Commentary by Don Knebel The Sea of Galilee in northern Israel is one of the world’s most famous bodies of water because of its association with travel Jesus. Perhaps the best-known story about Jesus and the Sea of Galilee occurred after his death. Only eight miles wide, with an area of less than 65 square miles, the harp-shaped Sea of Galilee is more accurately called a lake. Whatever its name (the Bible also calls it the Lake of Gennesaret, the Sea of Tiberias and the Sea of Kinnereth), the Sea of Galilee is the lowest fresh water lake in the world. Lying in the Jordan Rift resulting from the separation of the African and Arabian plates, its surface is about 700 feet below the level of the Mediterranean Sea. The Sea of Galilee is fed primarily by the Jordan River, which flows into it from the north and then flows out of it for 88 miles south until it reaches the Dead Sea, the lowest lake in the world. Jesus spent most of his earthly ministry

preaching in and around the fishing villages along the northwest shore of the Sea of Galilee, where his disciples lived and worked. His miraculous feeding of the 5,000 and the Sermon on the Mount took place on nearby hillsides. According to the “Gospel of John,” on a morning after his crucifixion in Jerusalem, Jesus suddenly appeared to some of his disciples on the shore of the Sea of Galilee after they had spent the night fishing, entirely without success. With guidance from Jesus, the fisherman filled their nets and joined Jesus for a fish breakfast ashore, where Jesus forgave Peter for having three times denied knowing him after his arrest. Today, a statue in Tabgha, an area on the northwest shore not far from Capernaum, remembers that event.
